What this record means
The record shows that the mark “GOT GMAIL?” is dead, having been abandoned after the applicant failed to respond to an office action. The owner listed is Ankur Kuchlous, an individual. The mark was filed on August 20, 2010 for services in class 035, specifically advertising and marketing, with first use on August 18, 2010. Because the mark is dead, it does not confer any rights or control over the wording in any class. A similar name would raise the closest concern only if used in advertising or marketing services, the same scope the abandoned mark covered. The prosecution history shows a standard refusal and abandonment sequence, with no indication that the mark was ever moved to the Supplemental Register. The latest status event is the abandonment notice dated July 7, 2011, and no enforcement activity is recorded. For someone considering a similar name, the record suggests that while the abandoned mark does not block use, the exact phrase could still be problematic in advertising or marketing contexts.
